The artist behind this striking transformation is local painter Rajesh Singh, known for his innovative approach to street art. Singh, who has a penchant for bringing famous artworks into everyday settings, saw the auto-rickshaw as the perfect medium to blend classical art with the hustle and bustle of Mumbai’s streets.

“I wanted to bring a piece of the world’s art heritage to the people of Mumbai, making it accessible to everyone in a way that is both surprising and delightful,” Singh said. “The auto rickshaw is an integral part of our city’s identity, and I thought, why not use it as a canvas?”

The artwork has been meticulously detailed, with the swirling blues and yellows of “Starry Night” seamlessly wrapping around the vehicle. The attention to detail and the faithful reproduction of van Gogh’s brushstrokes have left art enthusiasts and casual observers in awe.

“It’s incredible to see such a famous painting come to life in this way,” said one passerby. “It adds a touch of beauty and culture to our daily commute.”

The auto rickshaw’s driver, Ramesh Patel, has embraced his vehicle’s newfound fame. “I never imagined my rickshaw would become an art piece,” Patel laughed. “People stop me all the time to take pictures. It’s amazing to see their reactions.”

This unique blend of art and urban life highlights the growing trend of street art in India, where artists are increasingly using public spaces and everyday objects as their canvases. Singh’s work serves as a testament to the power of art to transform and inspire, regardless of the setting.

As the “Starry Night” rickshaw continues to navigate the streets of Mumbai, it not only pays homage to one of the world’s most beloved artists but also celebrates the city’s dynamic and creative spirit.
